And who’re we kidding – I solely go to basketball video games for the ice cream! Really it’s Thomas who began this ritual. Each single sport he goes to he will get a Ben & Jerry’s simply after halftime.

I additionally had gentle up scrunchies that have been so enjoyable I’ll be sporting them to each decade celebration! And this fanny pack that I obtained clear so I may additionally put on it to clear-bag live shows.

Tremendous enjoyable instances! Highlights have been once they performed Zombie and all of the songs Chris performs in our exercises each week. It was a large sing-along!
